With a commitment to regional business and sourcing the best ingredients available, the agreement will expand the ballpark's Farm-to-Table program and introduce new collaborations with local restaurants and farmers to bring fresh meat, poultry and vegetables to guests throughout Nationals Park. Fan favorite spot, District Drafts, will have two new locations - creating a total of four locations around the park - and feature local taps from DC Brau, 3 Stars Brewing Company, Port City Brewing Company and more.

Broadening the range of flavor options, the Nationals and Levy Restaurants will introduce a variety of delicious new items, including hand rolled sushi, stir-fry to order noodles, house made jumbo lump crab cakes and new vegetarian and gluten-free options, like fresh salads, sandwiches, veggie burritos and more.

Fans will also enjoy new digital menu boards introduced throughout the ballpark for enhanced service and real-time information on offerings, promotions and more.
